The Three P's

Pumpkin. Pancakes. Pineapple. 
I love fall for the food and crunchy leaves.
Get yourself baking pumpkin, not carving pumpkin. Usually they are smaller in size.
Cut the pumpkin in half using a serrated knife in sawing motion.
 I cooked mine in the crock pot for about 5 hours or until poked with a fork and is soft and pulls away from the edge.  
 Spoon the pumpkin out. 
 Puree until smooth. 
 Add spices, vanilla, melted butter and honey. Stir and add the eggs. 
 Add the flours and mix until combined. 
 Serve with pineapple. 
 And maple syrup. 
These pancakes gotta be cooked nice and slow as they do burn easily. 
Pumpkin Pancakes

1 1/2 cups pureed pumpkin
3Tbls of melted butter
1-3 Tbls of Honey 
2-4 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour (I used coconut and almond)
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ginger

Fika


Fika! Fika! Fika!
I've taken a side job making magic props. 
Taking a short break to eat this chocolate chocolate chocolate doughnut and to drink my burning hot coffee.

Origami Crane

 A Japanese legend says if you fold a thousand cranes you will have a wish granted to you by a crane.
 Or eternal good luck.

Lavender Pockets



I love the smell of lavender. 
Calm and delicious! 

I decided to make my lavender bags into the shape of tea bags.



 The red string was a mistake that I just rolled with. 
Turned out quite flashy.

Sleepy Day

Nothing good or exciting today.
 The dogs are tired. It is getting to be fall outside. 
Laziness has set.

 Wicket will not be leaving the couch today. 
Except maybe to get a bath. 
She is dirty!
